Avalonia is open-sourcing its WebView control as part of the upcoming Avalonia 12 release. Previously a commercial-only feature in the Accelerate tier, the WebView uses native platform web rendering instead of bundling Chromium. The decision reflects that embedding web content has become a standard requirement, making a commercial license feel inappropriate. Existing Accelerate subscribers retain full support, and the commercial offering continues with other advanced tooling and components. The open-source WebView will ship in an Avalonia 12 pre-release and be included in the stable release.
